i know in hindsight it looks like a bad decision to run the horse but we are just punters so id love to hear why dunlop ran cadeux. Surely there is a bigger risk in running a horse that old on a dry day.

Almandin won it last year but is carrying more weight this time around.
Boom Time won the Caulfield Cup.
Cismontane (#24) got a spot in the race after sentimental favourite Who Shot the Barman was scratched.

The Cliffsofmoher is solid value for an EW'er.

Probably back in the favourite for the win, TBH. Don't normally like the favs unless it's the Diva though...:shh
